[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are expecting and MIL hopes to meet the baby soon after birth (she would NOT stay at our house). She unfortunately lives a 5-hour flight away, and I'm very concerned about her unknowingly catching something on the long travel day over and baby catching it. For anyone with parents similar distance, how did/would you handle? Is saying she can come but only see baby after a 5-day quarantine reasonable?[/quote] Be sure you ask your OB and all hospital personnel if they have just come back from vacation or if they know anyone or if there is anyone in the hospital, or who has been in the hospital as a patient, visitor, delivery person and, if so, well you better find another hospital. Do you now see how ridiculous you are being? It has long beeniop established that simply washing your hands is the most effective method of stop spreading germs. [/quote] this is the dumbest shit i've ever read... airborne illnesses are alive and well. a mask and ventilation go quite far! and yes i'd ask all my health care providers to mask. [/quote] But did you used to? In 2017, did you ask all of your doctors and nurses to mask up? Don't lie.[/quote] We didn't know anything about airborne transmission in 2017 so no.... but actually yes I masked up in 2013 when my micropreemie niece and nephew were born. . We now know a lot more about how viruses spread then we did in 2017 or 2020 ( hence the mask and not obsessively wiping groceries) and also know a lot more about long term risks of viruses beyond covis such as rsv ( asthma) ,ebv ( ms, diabetes, celiac and a host of other autoimmune disorders)[/quote a micropremie is a totally different scenario.
